Sorry for the delay - I though I had replied earlier but must have made a mistake...

Here is the log file.

I set up Ekos with just the SX-26C camera, then opened it, set the temperature, took two pictures; one at 1x1 binning and 1 sec exposure, and one at 2x2 binning and 0.25 sec exposure. The target is a bookcase! I can't attach the 1x1 fits, as the size is too large, but I have attached the 2x2 and a jpg of the 1x1.



The artifacts on the 1x1 are interesting. The image is skewed and mirrored vertically, as well as the left hand side being doubled up. I looked at the original star image, and found that the stars seemed ok vertically, but were stretched horizontally; a 4 px tall star was stretched to 8 px, then had blank columns inserted to make it 16 px wide. I've included a cropped image.



I'm not sure what all of this means, but hopefully it may give some clues.

kind regards

Tim
